Being a guy, I choose to disagree with Monique's thoughts on what the guys are thinking. It's very unlikely any of them are thinking anything beyond "ooh, pretty girl."
Still, 'tis a good comic.

One thing I really like about sinfest is its versitility. The strips range from very silly, shockingly crude, painfully truthful, inflamatory, sad, as well as insightful. Plus the visuals are great, and there is a lot of subtle attention to detail, as well as references, both in the artwork and the jokes. It's a good, smart comic with good charactizeration, that covers a great deal of topics.

Friday is a very a very good comic, more along the lines of insightful with a touch of sad. I forwarded the archive link to today's comic to my friends.

she's walking around, trying to visualize how others 'see' her,
but still self-centered enough to believe none of them have it right.

of course, this is probably true, that no one sees the real you. But most people don't even have a good enough idea themselves to accurately say how other people see them, or how they should see them._________________Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY DEMONS"

How'd'you see the real someone if you don't get to know who they are on the inside?

It's the same kinda thing, though, that people with a wheelchair/crutches/cane feel (this is coming from personal experience, I spent the last 2 weeks on a cane and the week before that on crutches) that all anyone sees is their handicap.

Soon as I got better, the same people that opened doors for me stopped noticing. Which was relieving, because damnit, I got tired of not being able to open doors.

I actually love the entire thing, last panel included. I think what Monique wants is for them to look at her and rather than quickly slapping a label on her for their needs, she wants them to think of her as a person to be evaluated as such and not merely a body to fulfill a predetermined role these gentlemen have in their heads for her. I think that's what any of us want really. To be seen as who we are without any strings attached, you know, not "that punk with the mohawk and ripped pants" or "that nerd", but a person that might be interesting to know with no prior prejudices.

I read Tat deeply. Deeeeeply._________________I don't know much, but I do know I don't know much. You don't seem to grasp that about yourself.
